Thank you

Hi katesavige
This depends on how many real cakes you use. Paul has used 1 x 10″ round cake and the rest are polystyrene dummys. Here is the portions guide for all different size cakes:

To help you price the cake this blog by David offers a guide. Scroll down to the teddy bear picture and read the solution formula which is suggested. http://www.cakeflix.com/blog/confidence-in-pricing-cakes
It’s also important to gauge your local market, perhaps see what people in your local area are charging for a similar cake with equal amount of detail and decoration.
I made this cake for a Christening. The decoration prepartions took days, it’s very fiddly and time consuming so you’ll need to take that time into account when making it. The end result is truly breath taking, it’s a work of art so don’t sell yourself short on it. I had many requests from other mums to be for their new arrivals christenings. Be prepared for this massive wow factor cake to roll in more orders.
